In the 1980s, competence-based approaches started to be developed in vocational education and training in various countries. Since then, the growing importance of competences has meant that competence-based learning has now also been extended to general school education, which is the focus of our course. ]]> 2017-12-23 19:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217926349 Importance KhurramWhiz https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217926570  The need for school students to develop competences, also known as ‘key competences’ or ‘21st century skills’, has increasingly gained importance, and has recently become prominent in education systems worldwide thanks to social and economic motivations, as well as developments in educational research. ]]> 2017-12-23 19:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217926570 The European Union Framework KhurramWhiz https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217926609 1.Communication in the mother tongue  2.Communication in foreign languages - 3.Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology

Formative assessment – the kind of interactive assessment that takes place in the course of learning, where the information gathered can be used to adjust teaching and learning and better meet student needs. Self assessment Student self-assessment of progress toward the transversal competences. These are competences that do not have a learning “standard” – such as creativity, initiative and constructive management of feelings - but where it may be important for each student to track his or her development. ]]> 2017-12-23 19:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217926836 Collaborative problem solving KhurramWhiz https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217927386  Collaborative problem solving is defined as a joint activity where two or more people work together to contribute knowledge, skills, materials and procedures and move through a series of cognitive states that involve collection and analysis of information and the formulation of hypotheses that they jointly set out to test. ]]> 2017-12-23 19:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217927386 About myself KhurramWhiz https://padlet.com/KhurramWhiz/1ut1w4gg5zo/wish/217927560 Hi, I am Khurram Shehzad from Pakistan.
